74 – Coldplay, FOMO, and why I pursued sales- with Tahmid & Arshvyn from MYBSG [Part 1]

From the excitement surrounding Coldplay's six-night sold-out concert in Singapore to exploring the pervasive culture of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), they share their insights. Arshvyn recounts his "bang average" Hokkien Mee story, and the hosts delve into why he chose sales and self-employment as a career path. They also explore alternative ways to demonstrate value when hard skills are limited, including humorous reflections on considering careers as a lawyer, alcohol salesman, and credit card specialist. Tune in to hear their perspectives on relationship building in sales, debunking misconceptions about introverts, and the security of having a fallback degree.
